Plantimex has issued a recall for its Mamisan Lidocaine Ointment, sold at popular retailers such as Walmart and Target, for fears it could lead to child poisonings and deaths.

Approximately 50,330 containers of the ointment were recalled after regulators discovered that it was not being sold in child-resistant packaging, as required by law.
